Gensol Engineering Limited (NSE: GENSOL) has revealed plans to raise Rs. 600 crore through a mix of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) and warrants issued to promoters. This move, approved by the company’s Board of Directors, is aimed at improving financial stability and reducing its debt load.

Of the total Rs. 600 crore, Rs. 400 crore will be raised via FCCBs, and Rs. 200 crore will be generated through the issuance of warrants to the promoters. In addition to this, the company is also pursuing divestment initiatives, including the sale of vehicles and a subsidiary, to further improve its debt-to-equity ratio.

As of now, Gensol Engineering carries a debt of Rs. 1,146 crore against reserves of Rs. 589 crore, leading to a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.95. With the upcoming fundraising, the company expects its reserves to grow to around Rs. 1,200 crore. Furthermore, ongoing divestments, estimated at Rs. 615 crore, will reduce its debt to approximately Rs. 530 crore, resulting in a projected debt-to-equity ratio of 0.44.
